well i got it, all seems good, except i was driving it and the mpg gague and the rev counter went all spazzo on me then the car cut out... started it up and it did it again .. parked it up and looked at the air filter .. it was black!! so i banged it out abit! and it worked fine all night!!!!!

got a couple of queries! the fogs dont work and neither does either keyfobs for the alarm!

all is good!

Was it heavy...?

Love the colour, looks a pretty clean example. If any car ever needed a 60/40 drop that would be it :wink:

full service shiuld get the car running good, when u say fogs do you mean the rectangular lights on teh lower valance? check bulbs, fuse, or could be the actual fog light switch thats gone.
